“I am so grateful for the gifts that God has given me and the ability to share that for the love of humankind,” Batiste said.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 03: Jon Batiste accepts the Best Music Video award onstage from Pierce Freelon and Nnenna Freelon during the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony at MGM Grand Marquee Ballroom on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, NevJon Batiste has already taken home four Grammy Awards, including his first ever, in what could be a big night for this year’s leading nominee.
Batiste — not present for his first three awards — also won for "Soul" alongside Rivera for his composing efforts on "The Queen’s Gambit."It’s the first tie since 2019 when Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future and James Blake tied with Anderson .Paak to win best rap performance. "I never thought that I would be able to do music professionally because of my sexuality. And I certainly never thought I would be here on the stage accepting a Grammy after having done something I felt like was going to be life changing and potentially in a very negative way," Osborne said.
Chick Corea and Vicente Fernandez each won posthumous Grammys. Joni Mitchell won best historical album for "Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 1: The Early Years ."Eilish could become the first artist ever to win record of the year three times in a row, and the only artist along with Paul Simon to take home the award three times. She’s in position to join Adele as the only artists to ever win three major categories — record, song and album of the year — twice.
Even if Eilish comes away with six wins, she’ll be tied with Beyoncé and Adele — which is not bad company to be in. The awards will be without several big names: Drake and The Weeknd both decided to not take part in the Grammys, at all. Ye, who changed his name from Kanye West, said he was told that his act was pulled from the show.West, known as Ye, was not in attendance to accept his award for best rap song through "Jail," featuring Jay-Z, who extended his record as the most awarded rapper of all time with 24 wins for his songwriting on the song.
